Hack description

Like almost all other Super Nintendo/Super Famicom ports to the Game Boy Advance, Final Fantasy V Advance was given a visual makeover in order to accommodate for the darker screen of the Game Boy Advance, making the colors appear brighter and more washed out than they were originally intended. This patch seeks to address this, restoring the colors to their original nature - and, in some cases, going beyond, since there were graphical improvements made to the game in many areas, such as new enemies and revamped battle screens, all of which have been edited to fit the color palette of the Super Famicom original.

This patch has only been tested with the ROM entitled "Final Fantasy V Advance (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It)".

Gives new life to the game.T292022-05-19Version 1.0

The original GBA port looked more like a demake than a port, but with this patch it makes it look exactly like the SNES version.

The portraits no longer look lifeless.

In case you're wondering, it's compatible with Sound Restoration.
